Well he's AWD. So I dont think traction is much of an issue at his power level. (Especially considering he's cutting 1.7 60's).

So am I. On a cold day, traction is certainly still an issue at these power levels. Any moisture at all and I can spin second gear pretty easily. If my clutch could take a hard launch, I know for a fact I would slip. Honestly, a 1.7 isn't that great for AWD. And I think this is part of it. I'm betting good tires on a warm day can achieve a 1.5-1.6. OP?

What tires are you on?
We are still talking about a 400WHP car right?

1.7 is good for AWD. Not the best but good. Most AWD owners can barely scrape a 2.0. (Mainly from the bog at launch for 6 MT).

You may be able to squeeze a 1.5 or 1.6 but this transmission will definitely hate you. I wouldn't personally put my car through that much abuse.

I do agree that a 1.7 is good, and perhaps a good place to be with our transfercase. But honestly, I think everyone is just scared of it. I've never seen a catastrophic failure yet. It's not like the glass transfercase that came on the 3000gt VR4 that would just shatter everywhere if you didn't have it reinforced.

I was on Direzza ZIIs, but FWIW, probably 3/32 or less remaining. They don't like the cold. They're actually supposed to be in storage and kept above 40F. Oops.

I hear ya. Once the temps drop below 60F most summer tires become bricks.

Btw, I don't know what equates to 119mph in these cars, HP-wise. Does that jive with your dyno or did we determine it was reading high?

It's confirming the 460/521 numbers. Clearly the first post with number reading over 500/600 was reading incorrectly. I need some new tires ASAP to try and cut the 60' time down. I'm also only running 90% boost so I've got another 2 pounds to add to the equation.

Are you using no lift shift? I really want to upgrade my Procede for 2-step now. Do you think its worth it?

The NLS is actually not turned on. I had major bog issues shifting hard from 1-2 with NLS on. Without it, the car shifts perfectly. The 2 step rev limit is a really nice perk for an AWD coming off the line. I used 3500 at the track on the 11.8 run and am planning to move it closer to 4K next time. Regarding if it's worth it or not...I would spend the money if you're trapping the car. Otherwise you're talking minimal difference. Don't think I've ever used the 2-step on the street but I really did love the NLS...I would use that on the street all the time.
